About This Home
Presenting an Extraordinary Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece****
Designed by Charles Goodman – Reimagined with Modern Elegance**** Originally designed in 1960 by acclaimed Mid-Century Modern architect Charles Goodman, this stunning residence has been thoughtfully reimagined by architect-owners who opened the floor plan to highlight sweeping views while preserving the home’s timeless character.**** Tucked away at the end of a cherry-tree-lined cul-de-sac in historic Rock Creek Woods, with almost 2500 SQ FT of living space, the home sits gracefully atop a landscaped hill surrounded by Japanese maples, redbuds, and azaleas. A stone walkway and flagstone porch lead to light-filled interiors that showcase original slate flooring, custom millwork, and expansive windows throughout.**** The lower level features a sunlit family room with modern gas fireplace, built-in bookcases, and sustainable cork flooring, plus two bedrooms and a beautifully updated bath. A custom oak-and-walnut floating staircase leads to the main level — an airy retreat with panoramic treetop views, a wood-burning fireplace, and seamless flow into the award-winning gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is a showpiece with custom cabinetry, Bertazzoni induction range, quartz waterfall countertops, and suspended glass cabinets that frame lush outdoor vistas.**** The primary suite offers floor-to-ceiling windows, custom closets, and a spa-inspired bath with a walk-in shower and floating double vanity.**** From the kitchen, a sliding glass door opens to a full-width deck and a professionally landscaped backyard enclosed in cedar fencing. Terraced stone walls, a Stone Forest millstone water fountain, and a custom cedar pergola with swing create a tranquil outdoor sanctuary.**** Homeowners in Rock Creek Woods, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, enjoy a 20% tax credit for qualifying exterior work. The community hosts annual gatherings and offers easy access to Rock Creek Park, Brookside Gardens, Bethesda, Washington, D.C., and local shops and dining.**** Recent Updates: High-performance Low-E windows, custom cabinetry, modern lighting, 2016 stainless-steel flue liner and chimney cap, motion-sensor security lighting, new paint (2024), 50-gallon gas water heater (2024), and landscape lighting on timers.
